    I assume you mean that they vote for Biden in the hope of getting free stuff? ("give me that")?

          Killed? No, I don't think anybody will kill Biden. Unless it's Harris, or course.

          I think it much more likely he'll succumb on his own. Wandering out in traffic, perhaps...

              I may have said this before, but I re member reading a story about the old President Bush. And they were asking him what he missed most about being president.

              He replied that it wasn’t Air Force One, Because if you have enough money, you could have a fancy plane. He said that it wasn’t living in the White House, because again, if you have enough money, you can have a fancy house.

              He said that the thing he missed most, was that he never had to wait in traffic.

              As president, traffic was always cleared for him, and there was never any any chance he would be stuck in traffic!

                  That, to the Secret Service, would be a job well done.

                        @jon-nyc , what do you think of these numbers?

                        https://dailycaller.com/2020/11/11/third-parties-spoil-election-states-races-most-affected/

                        There’s no indication Jorgensen voters would have supported Trump had she not been on the ballot. But the 2020 election may have gone to Trump had even a fraction showed up and voted for the president in a few swing states.

                        Biden leads Trump by 12,813 votes in Arizona as of Wednesday, according to the Times. While the outcome hasn’t yet been declared by most media organizations, if Trump received roughly 25% of Jorgensen’s 50,636 votes, he would be ahead.

                        In Georgia, another uncalled state, Trump is down by 14,093 votes as of Wednesday, according to The Times. If 23% of Jorgensen’s 62,053 supporters voted for the president, he would be leading Biden.

                        And Trump would be ahead of Biden in Pennsylvania, which was called Saturday morning, had he received about 65% of Jorgensen’s 77,942 votes in the state. Biden leads Trump in Pennsylvania by 50,213 as of Wednesday, according to The Times.

                        Similarly, if Trump would have won 54% of Jorgensen’s 38,271 in Wisconsin, he would be ahead, according to the Times. Biden leads in Wisconsin by 20,539 as of Wednesday.

                        Both Brian Carroll, of the American Solidarity Party, and Don Blankenship, of the Constitution Party, received more than 5,000 votes in Wisconsin, according to The Times. Nearly 8,000 people voted for write-ins.

                        "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                          Well, it's true as far as it goes but it's a different point that LD and I were discussing.

                          This is imagining JJ still in the race, but some of her supporters going to Trump. What LD and I were discussing was what might have happened if there had been no third party candidate. In that case you assume some of those votes are going to break for Biden too. Therefore the number of JJ voters Trump needs is larger than just the initial gap.

                          Let's just play with their first example:

                          Biden leads Trump by 12,813 votes in Arizona as of Wednesday, according to the Times. While the outcome hasn’t yet been declared by most media organizations, if Trump received roughly 25% of Jorgensen’s 50,636 votes, he would be ahead.

                          Ok. Imagine JJ isn't in the race and ALL of those voters either go for Biden or Trump.

                          Trump needs 31,725 of the 50,636 or 63%. Why the difference? Because Trump needs to cover the existing 12k gap PLUS an additional vote for every one Biden gets. (note that Trump getting 31,725 in this example means Biden gets the other 18,911. Those numbers are 12,814 apart - just enough for Trump to cover the original gap with one to spare).

                          Note also that this assumes ALL the votes she got go instead to either Trump or Biden. If you make the more realistic assumption that some stay home or write in a name, then the percentage Trump needs of the reminder increases further.

                          You were warned.

                            Actually I gave them a bit too much credit. Based on the first sentence, they are in fact opining about what would happen if JJ was off the ballot.

                            They just aren't good at thinking it through. Journos can't really math.

                                          It's yet to be proven that the voters actually picked Biden.
